We await the coming of a new grandchild. Baby Ruto no. 2 is due June 8th. We don’t think Leah will go to that date, but you never know. Best thing is to think of it as coming on that date & not get into expectation mode of it coming early.
We don’t know if it is boy or girl, as parents decided not to know until birth. It’s a hard thing not to find out, as these days they tell you from an early ultrasound. But it’s really good, because by the time the child is born, you don’t care which sex it is, as long as it’s here, and healthy. We would like a little girl, as she would be the first granddaughter, besides step daughters I rarely see, but we don’t really care.
Our family is close. We are close to all our grandkids, so it seems strange that here comes this new little one and we do not even know who he or she is. But they are already part of our family. Seems odd that he or she doesn’t know us, or know who all is waiting for him or her on the other side. But we’re all here, just waiting, and praying for all to go well. Leah has gestational diabetes so is somewhat a risk for complications, but she has been extremely strict on the diet, so there is no sign that anything will be out of normal range. We are hoping for a good, normal, natural birth, as that is what she wants. Just like last time. Hopefully not quite as fast as last time, but not too long either. I am 4 hours away, and may very well not make it in time for this birth, but will arrive soon after & be prayin’ all the way there.
Possible names are: Kahlil (boy), or Naylah pronounced “Nie-luh” (girl).
